It's been three years, seven months and 8 days since my organ donor saved my life. My life is better than it was before my transplant. We have moved to the city we have always dreamed of moving to, we are living our life to the fullest and are happier than ever. I am at a place I never thought I would be, I no longer consider myself "the transplant patient". While I still think of my donor every single day, the fear of dying, and the fear of wondering what is going to go wrong next is gone. My transplant will always be a part of my life but it no longer defines who I am. (Luckily, it will always fast track me at the ER or to get an appointment with my Dr.) My friends and family no longer ask how I am doing, the fear is gone from their voice and it's so refreshing to just be a normal person again.
This blog was a great way to keep my family and friends informed about my recovery after my transplant. Writing was very therapeutic to help me process what the hell happened and what my new life would entail but it's time to move on. Thank you to my donor for My New Liver and My New Life... I promise to make you proud!
